About bath repair in TQ8
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What’s near Salcombe
Typical jobs here are in homes near Salcombe Church of England Primary School, Victoria Inn and Church of the Holy Trinity and the streets around them. Further afield, we also cover the area around South Hams Hospital (3.7 miles north) and The Old Grammar School (3.5 miles north).
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
